Condition: Hypertensive Heart Disease Without (Congestive) Heart Failure · Sponsor: National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine
Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of using a food product, dry finely dispersed beetroot powder in a dose of 20 g, containing 800 mg of nitrate (NO3-), in relation to the regulation of blood pressure in men with hypertension who reached the target blood pressure level while taking optimal antihypertensive therapy. Characteristics of the study: randomized, open, and cross-sectional. Relevance of the study Currently, it is recognized that vasodilatory endothelial dysfunction due to impaired synthesis and bioavailability of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) is a characteristic change in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and plays one of the key roles in the development and progression of this pathology. Nitrate (NO3-), contained in food products, the highest content of which is found in beetroot, is converted into NO in the body after consumption, which can have a positive effect on the state of the cardiovascular system and lead to a decrease in blood pressure. Indeed, this assumption has been confirmed in various clinical studies. The results of the conducted studies demonstrate the positive effect of beetroot juice enriched with NO3- on the functional parameters of the cardiovascular system, in particular, the level of SAD and DBP, vasodilator function, endothelium and arterial stiffness, both in patients with hypertension and conditionally healthy people. However, most of the studies conducted in this field either include a relatively small number of subjects wit…
